ZR-lockeddualrecovery2.7.124-BETA.installer is for locked bootloaders. read OP before doing anything otherwise you will brick your phone.

what's differences between BL and UL for you guys?
UL can flash kernel.
BL cannot flash kernel!
what's recovery?
some binary files that should be called before calling and starting system so it's pretty good to start in kernel before trying to start system.
but what if we can't modify the kernel?
yet we can modify the system and put some binary files in stock chargemon (when the phone trying to figure whether goes to offline charging or not) so it starts first in whole system and wait for a key, if pressed just execute the recovery!
so again, can something that specifically build for LB be flashed or run on UB?? my answer is mostly yes.
can something that needs flashing kernel or other things than system and data on LB? my answer is mostly NO
is [NUT] recovery for both ub and lb? yes! if you don't have recovery on kernel. ( or else you have two recovery one in kernel and one in system and 3 seconds delay in each starting nothing else)

It's a little more complicated on Z1 as compared to other fastboot devices, you can't simply flash a recovery to the recovery partition because the Z1 doesn't have one, so the solution is to flash a kernel partition which has been modified to do a check for if the user wants to load recovery before kernel startup. There are a couple of those in the Android Development and Original Android Development boards in this section.

Hello,
I want to install Paranoid Android 4.4
My Z1 C6903 is in Stock rom 14.3.A.0.757 rooted, TA backup done and bootloader unlocked with stock recovery.
Now i'm a little bit lost, what should I do ?
1/ Install a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM) that I pick up separately and after install Paranoid 4.4
or
2/ Just follow the flashing instruction from Paranoid ? (does the boot.img include a custom recovery ?)
Thanks for the help ! (and sorry for my english.)

I've just flashed my Z1 with PA 4.4. It works perfectly !! Thanks for the advice. :good:
FYI, the recovery is CWM.
Last request : Is it possible to have stock camera app (from Z1 or Z2) into the PA 4.4 rom ?
No
So I got my Z1 yesterday, was on 4.4.2 stock unrooted. I unlocked the bootloader using Sony's official website and fastboot, then I went on destroying the phone by flashing Philz touch recovery.img through fastboot.
And since then the phone has been bricked, I can only enter Fastboot through the blue led, while Flash mode doesn't show up any LED light and my PC sees the phone when on flashmode as n "S1 device with a parameter error".
I've tried all drivers, none worked, and the flashtool keeps suggesting I should update my drivers when connecting the phone on flash mode:
02/042/2014 22:42:11 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
02/042/2014 22:42:30 - ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device.
02/042/2014 22:42:30 - ERROR - You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool.

Is there any way I can recover from this through fastboot instead of the flashtool? I can still flash system.img and recovery.img through fastboot. I'd really appreciate any help right now.

Xperia phones do not have a recovery partition to flash recovery to via fastboot.
If you can enter fastboot, then flash a stock kernel.elf with flashtool (In fastboot mode).
Then you can use flashtool to relock your boot (I imagine you have not even taken a TA backup and you are new to xperia devices, your post suggests so)
then you should be able to use pccompanion to repair, or flashtool to flash a FTF
However, by flashing a recovery image you may have bricked the phone. try what I have said, if it does not work get back in touch. (Do you have access to jtag and setool?)

Can you link me to the files you suggested I try? There seems to be a truckload of them laying around the forum.
Also, yes, I am new to xperia phones. Didnt think they were this complicated to flash but I shouldnt have played with fastboot anyway. And no, sadly I dont have a jtag. Never needed one before.
Thanks for the help btw, I greatly appreciate this.
i dont think you have 100% installed the drivers, on windows 7 upwards you need to disable driver signature to allow any unsigned drivers to be installed
Look in the mega collection thread in the general section for a 442 ftf file. The kernel.elf will be in it

Is this 4.4.2?
Ok here is an update; after messing with fastboot for so long and a couple of kernel flashes, I managed to boot the phone But now its stuck on the Sony logo.
A sign of hope though lies with the fact that I managed to enter recovery mode and found CWM hanging there. So now Im probably going to try ADB push a rom file to the SD and try to flash it through recovery instead.
@gregbradley
Sounds good. The reason forth hang at the sony logo will be that you have wiped the system partition. Flashing a rom based on the kernel you have will enable the phone to boot

Would flashing a custom rom zip from the CWM recovery, fix the bootloop? Or could it also be a baseband/firmware issue too?
Im not really familiar with Sony's bootloader unlock process, does it allow kernel flash from recovery or only through fastboot ala Htc style?

do u have any rom on it or u just have bootloop? i u can't access to rom, u need with flashtool to flash stock rom, when u do that u loose your root and lose your dualrecovery... u need to root it again and install dualrecovery
second is
if u can access to rom instal ndr utility and reboot in clockwork mod recovery...
third option si to install via fastboot advanced doomloader kernel which has clockwork mod and has root... after that to flash custom rom but stock version of custom rom
Any of you guys know of a Stock rooted 4.4.4 rom that comes with the stock kernel in a flashable zip? I have looked everywhere for one but I cant find any.

Would like to know if we have TWRP Recovery for Xperia SP Huashan (C5303) with Unlocked Bootloader.
Thank you.
You can get it yes look for the recovery threads in the development section for kernels with it built in (UL BL only) or theres a version for LBL.

A few months back I tried it (on ULB) and it worked.
Anyway, if you have unlocked your bootloader, simply flashboot a kernel which has TWRP included.
Both Doomlord and Williams have it. Depending on the ROM you're on, download one of these.
So i have successfully installed a custom recovery on my phone running Marshmallow and also unlocked the bootloader!
Its quite simple actually!
I am not responsible for any damage you make to your phone!
Steps-
1. Download the zip file from the link and extract it.
2. Install both the drivers and then proceed!(The drivers are universal and work for Windows 98,xp,vista,7,8,8.1,10 but in 8,8.1,10 you might need to turn off the digital signature verification-Make good use of google)
3.After installing the drivers , connect your phone in switched on and remember to turn on usb debugging in the dev options!
4. Open the unlock_bootloader_... and run the .bat file and follow the on screen steps( All the data will be formatted so make a backup beforehand)
5.After doing this you will void your warranty so make sure you know what you are doing!
6. Open the one click installer folder and replace the recovery.img with any recovery that you want.
7. Now again connect your phone in switched on mode and usb debugging on and run the .bat file of recovery installer.. and follow the on screen steps!
8.As soon as the the recovery installation is over do not let teh phone reboot just press the vol up button as the installation process stops and then go to recovery!
9.Boom!! Now you have a phone with unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery installed on marshmallow!!
10.Flash custom Kernels,Boot Animations, Logos and root your phone running marshmallow and brag!

Recovery Kernel?
Hi bro just a quick question did you use the MM kernel in the custom recovery?
On our None AOSP standard Mediatek devices the rom does a Kernel check to ensure both the boot and recovery Kernels are of the same version eg KK boot = KK Recovery LP boot = LP Recovery so I just wondered if the MM Kernel still works in the Philz recovery or are you still using a kernel from a older version of android eg KK or LP.
Hope that makes sense to you :laugh:
